This is on IMDB.com...

Quote:
Lucasfilm plans to introduce its upcoming animated TV series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars with a 90-minute 3-D theatrical version on August 15, the company said Monday. Somewhat surprisingly, the film will be released by Warner Bros. rather than 20th Century Fox, which released all of the previous Star Wars features. The TV series, however, will air on the Cartoon Network, a corporate sibling of Warner Bros. In a statement, Warner distribution chief Dan Fellman said, "This is a breakthrough project, returning Star Wars to the big screen in a completely new way while beginning an exciting new chapter in George Lucas's legendary saga. We immediately felt that it would be a fantastic theatrical event and are thrilled to be bringing it to moviegoers."

Interesting although it will probably only be on IMAX screens. Warner Bros releasing it is also interesting because 20th Century Fox has released everything Star Wars since the first movie in 1977.

EDIT: Looks like Samuel L Jackson and Hayden Christensen want to lend their voices in the animated series.

I saw that video from Saturday Night Live (I think?) and it was funny.

George Lucas to Turn Star Wars Saga into 3D

Source: Heather Newgen July 22, 2008

ComingSoon.net caught up with DreamWorks Animations CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg on Tuesday and learned that George Lucas is looking to repurpose the six "Star Wars" episodes into 3D format.

Katzenberg told us that Lucas is very excited about it and that he's got the technical resources to pull it off. "He isn't going to put a product out, I think, that isn't anything other than first rate," Katzenberg said.
